Man Indicted In Connection With Police-Involved Shooting

Broadnax’s attorney, Rigodis Appling, asked the court to release him due to his innocence, citing videos taken by bystanders purportedly showing him running around in traffic disoriented and scared, Cornell reported.

Appling said Broadnax had no weapons when police fired. “The black object in his hand was his wallet. He had no idea his conduct would cause police to shoot at him and others. He was brought down with a stun gun,” Appling said.

The judge refused to release Broadnax, citing his prior criminal history.
